However, the AP has come to the telephone number of the director, who presents himself as Sam Basil, the investigation of this news agencies led to the same address where she found Nakul.
Even more interesting is what the AP found in federal court documents: Nakula was able to use pseudonyms like Nicholas Basile (Nicola Bacily) and Salameh Ervin (Erwin Salameh).
Nakula told AP that a Coptic Christian and director of the film shares the concerns of the religious community because of Muslim relations with her. He also denied that uses the identity of Sam Basil, and even a journalist showed his driver's license, but the whole time holding thumb over the middle name - Basileus.

Actors from "Innocence Muslims" - low-cost film a few months ago very briefly shown in one the Los Angeles cinema - have distanced themselves over the Los Angeles Times list of the final product. They were, as they say, misled regarding the project, and part of their dialogue is rough nadsinhronizovan in postproduction.
In the English version of the trailer on YouTube, directly mentioning the Prophet Muhammad seems to be the result of postproduction modifications, according to the AP - as if the actors do not speak what he hears, but it is a result of post-synchronization.
